The Community Press is a hybrid of a speculative scenario with a primitive but functional typography and printing workshop, a print performance, and a participatory workshop. With this work, I aim to explore how graphic design and public communication might look and function in low-technology societies without access to electricity and modern technology.
J u d g e s ’ c o m m e n t s :
A start to a conversation about our era’s faith in technological advancement and how this contributes to an increasingly fragile society. In this ambitious and historically anchored project, a birch printing press and maple typeface serve as a meeting point for discussions on how graphic design and form can be part of a political conversation. At the same time, the tempo of craftsmanship is highlighted in relation to a fast and automated contemporary era.
